The present invention relates to a display panel, and in particular, to a display panel including a reflective region and a transmissible region.

Related Art

Recently, with the popularity of portable electronic products, demands for display devices that can be applied to outdoor and indoor environments are also increasing. A transflective liquid crystal display (TRLCD) has advantages of both a transmissible liquid crystal display and a reflective liquid crystal display, and may use both transmitted light from a backlight module and reflected light from an ambient light source, so that the liquid crystal display can still maintain some visibility in strong outdoor light, and can further reflect display information by using ambient light when a power source of the backlight module is closed, to reduce power consumption of the panel. Therefore, the TRLCD has become a popular type of liquid crystal display.

However, modern people are more focused on display quality, and expect clearer images when the panel is playing dynamic images, but considering the definition of images may need to consume considerable power. Therefore, the current TRLCD has not achieved requirements of improving image quality and saving power.

Compared with an oxide semiconductor transistor and an amorphous silicon transistor, a polysilicon transistor has a higher charging rate, can provide a better frame rate of the display panel and improve the phenomenon of motion blur, and has excellent pixel quality when rendering dynamic images. Compared with a polysilicon semiconductor transistor and an amorphous silicon transistor, an oxide semiconductor transistor has a lower current leakage, and can still maintain static images under an operation of reducing the frame rate, and achieve the objective of reducing power consumption of the display panel. In the present disclosure, an oxide semiconductor transistor is selected for a first transistor I corresponding to the reflective region, and a polysilicon transistor is selected for a second transistor L corresponding to the transmissible region, so that by means of the feature of its low current leakage, the oxide semiconductor transistor can maintain an operation of a low frame rate when static images need to be rendered, to achieve a power-saving requirement, and by means of the feature of its high charging capability, the polysilicon transistor can execute an operation of a high frame rate when dynamic images need to be rendered, to achieve the objective of improving image quality of a video.
